[RE BATTLE m BOERS [ Circulation. People Fled From Vryburg When Boers Appeared. FIFTEEN HUNDRED KILLED Report That a Mina Wai Exploded« Destroying Hundreds of the Boar Troop.—Th. Uiuovitea Mutinied. London, Oct. 21.—The Pietermaritz­ burg correspondent of the Daily Mail, in a dispatch says: The brunt of the fighting at Bester’s Station yesterday was sustained by the volunteer patrols. The fighting was brisk. The Boers numbered 2,000. The volunteers at one moment were in great peril, being nearly cut off, but the officers handled tjieir men splen­ didly, and the Maxims effectively stopped the Boers’ rushes. The Boer showing was wretched. The volun­ teers lost their kit, and altogether the fight was a pretty trying one. The men were in the saddle three days and two nights, with hardly a rest. Basu- to natives were fighting with the Boers. It is reported that 16 Boers were killed. Vryburg Surrendered. London, Oct. 21.—The Cape Town correspondent of the Daily Mail, tele­ graphing tonight, says: "Vryburg surrendered Sunday. To­ night’s dispatches from Kuruman, 10 miles east by south of Vryburg, state I that the police having withdrawn from Vryburg, the town surrendered to the Boers, the inhabitants fleeing in all di­ rections, mostly toward Kuruman. When the police withdrew, the Cape Boers notified the enemy of the fact, thus inviting them to take possession. There was a fearful panic. The Brit­ ish are wildly indignant at this scut­ I tling.” Boer Army Trapped. London, Oct. 21.—The Daily News’ Cape Town correspondent says: It is rumored that news has reached Deax Junction that the Boers attacked Mafeking in force, but were repulsed. The defenders, seeing the enemy re­ treating, pursued them for some dis­ tance. Then a feint was made and they commenced to retire on the town, allowing themselves to be driven in by the Boers, who, eager to retrieve their position, again advanced to the attack and were drawn over lyddite mines laid for the defense of the town, It is ru- mored that 1,500 Boers were killed by the explosions. Patrol Fired Upon. Ladysmith, Oct. 21.—This morning ■a patrol under Mojor Andy penetrated the Boer outpost at Bester’s Station, and was fired upon but retired without loss. Dutch Rifle Corps Mutinies. Ladysmith, Oct. 21.—The Umvotie mounted rifle corps, which is largely recruited from the Dutch colonists, has mutinied. The Coming Strike. St. Paul, Oct. 21.—A general strike on the Great Northern will probably ■occur within a few days. It will in­ dued conductors, engineers,- firemen, brakemen and switchmen, and the men expect to tie up the road from end to end. In the great strike of five years ago, the conductors held aloof, but they have been brought into the present trouble by a recent order requiring them to pay for bonds covering damages to trains under their charge. The list •of grievances given by the men is a long one, and they claim to have been finable to secure anything like satisfac­ tion from the management. Since last March grievance committees have been almost constantly in this city trying to j-each some agreement with the railway -officials, but without result. The Eighth Yacht Trial. New York, Oct. 21.—Had the wind held today, the Columbia-Shamrock isries for the America’s cup would ave ended in three straight wins for the defender, and the Irish cup hunter would have sailed home without the trofhy, beaten as decisively as any former candidate, Only the failure of the wind saved the Shamrock from de- feat more stinging than on Monday. Today she was beaten on the run to the «uter mark 5 minute« and 51 second« elapsed time, and on the leg home, which should have been a beat, but which, owing to a shift of the wind, was a broad reach, the Columbia sailed away from her like a witch. When the race was declared off, about 10 minutes before the expiration of the time limit, the Columbia was leading by about three miles. She was then four miles from the finish. Had the Tace ended, the Shamrock would have been beaten by at least 20 minutes. No Friction at Manila. Victoria, B. C., Oct. 21.—Although Professor Worcesetr, one of the Philip­ pine commissioners, who arrived on the Empress of Ja;>an, refused to talk of what he and his colleagues had done, he denied that there had been any fric­ tion between Genreal Otis and the oth­ er members of the commission. He said: ‘‘There was never an occasion during our stay when our relations with the general were other than most am iable. ’ ’_________________ London, Oct. 19.—Many stories of brisk fighting are in circulation, but although the forces may have come in contact, all alleged details must be re­ garded as premature and speculative, especially if the report be true that the Orange Free State troops are now in complete possession of the railway from Kimberley to Orange river, 70 miles away. The alleged, virulence of the Boers’ attacks upon jlafeking ami Kimberley can readily be understood when it is realized that Bechuanaland is t« the Boers what Alsace-Lorraine is to France. It is therefore probable both towns will be forced to undergo a long and dreary investment before the Brit­ ish are in position to send a relief column. On the other side of the country the Boers are closing around the British outposts, and have already come into touch with them and exchanged shots. Therefore more stirring news is ex­ pected. Advices from Cape Town relate that excitement is kept up there by cease­ less reports of battles, but that little uneasiness is visible in official circles, where the opinion prevails that Mafe­ king and Kimberley are safe. The last message from Kimberley, prior to the cutting of the telegraph and railway by the Boer«, said: “All troops at Kimberley are well.” The calling out of the Cape Colony volunteers is supplemented by a de­ cision to raise 2,000 more volunteers in Cape Colony and 1,000 in Natal. Thus the total strength of the volun­ teer forces in both places will amount to 12,500 men. Exports Still Climbing. British Rout Kruger’s Troops at Glencoe. EIGHT HOURS HARD FIGHTING British Loss Boers 800—Invaders Surprised tho British Camp by Opeu- ing Fire Wi’li Artillery. Glencoe Gump. Oct. 23.—Aftei eight hours of continuous heavy fight­ ing, Dundee hill was carried by the Dublin fusileers and the King’s Royal rifles, under cover of a well-directed firtillery firo by the Thirteenth and Sixty-ninth batteries. The Boers, who threatened the British rear, have re­ tired. 'The fight was almost an exact coun­ terpart of that of Majuba hill, oxcept that the position of the Boer and Brit­ ish forces were reversed. General Symons was severely, but not danger- cously wounded. The battle today was a brilliant suc­ cess. The Boers got a reverse which may possibly, for a time at any rate, check all aggressive action. The Brit­ ish artillery practice in the early part of the day decided the battle. The seizure of Dundee hill by the Boers was a surprise; for, although the pickets had been exchanging shots all night, it was not nntill a shell boomed over the town into the camp that their presence was discovered. Then the shells came fast. Tho hill was posi­ tively alive with the swarming Boers till the British artillery got to work with magnificent energy and precision. Directly rhe Boer guns ceased firing, General Symons ordered the infantry to move on the position. The infantry charge was magnificent. The way the King’s Royal rifles and the Dublin fu­ sileers stormed the position was one of the most splendid sights ever seen. General Symons was wounded early in the action, and the command then devolved on Major Yule. The enemy as they fled, were fol­ lowed by the cavalry, mounted infan­ try and artillery. The direction taken was to the eastward. At the latest re­ ports the cavalry had not returned. A rough estimate places the British loss at 250 killed or wounded, and that of the Boers at 800. Washington, Oct. 19. — Present indi­ cations warrant the belief that the ex­ ports of the calendar year 1899 will be the largest in our history. The total for the eight months ending with Au­ gust showed an excess of $12,000,000 over the corresponding months of 1898, which was the largest calendar year in our exporting history, and the Septem­ ber statement of breadstuffs, provisions, cottons and mineral oils, just issued by the treasury bureau of statictics, shows for those four classes alone an excess of $12,000,000 over September of last year.

PACIFIC COAST NEWS Want, to Turn Over Salvador to the Mexican Government. Cominurcial and Financial Happening* of Interest to the Growing Western State«. Chicago,, Oct. 21.—A special to the Record from El Paso, Tex., says: General Ezeta, ex-pVesident of Salva­ dor, and an exile from that country, who disappeared mysteriously from his home in Oakland, Cal., where he had lived for three years, came to El Paso Saturday last, and left over the Mexican Central railway for the City of Mexico, in company of J. H. Holmes and C. S. Greene. Holmes is manager of the Iturbide hotel, of the City of Mexico, ami Greene is the city attorney of Pasadena, Cal. General Ezeta divulged his identity . to an official of the Mexican Central road at Juarez, Mexico. The ex-presi­ dent said he had become tired of his banishment from his native country, and preferred to die in an attempt to free his people from tyranny than re­ main an exile for life. General Ezeta said he and his party would confer with the Mexican executive on the sub­ ject of a revolution in Salvador for the overthrow of the present administra­ tion. It is understood that General Ezeta will offer to turn over Salvador to the republic of Mexico, in return for the financial aid of the Mexican govern­ ment in his venture. M'KINLEY’S h Heinitzi. the alleged coal- ‘‘«alter,” is loigel in the coun­ ty jail, at Olypmia, in default of $1,000 bail. His trial will occur at the November term of court. The pen­ alty for the offense with which he is charged is a fine of $50 to $5,000 and imprisonment from one to five years. Heinitzi protests his innocence of salt­ ing the mine in the most vigorous terms. On the strength of the show­ ing made at the "salted” mine at Bu­ coda, a corporation was organized and considerable money put up. uj George Vincent, of Butter Creek, Or., tells the Heppner Times that he purchased 53 head of beef cattle which had been raised on Camas prairie, but were in very good condition. He turned them into a field of green alfalfa and after 27 days they had increased in weighton an average of 4 IS pounds per head. No other kind of grass on earth would produce such a result, and Mr. Vincent says alfalfa grass has as much nutrition as corn. MESSAGE. No Doubt as to Ills Stand on the Phil« | ippine Question. Washington, Oct. 21.—President McKinley’s message to the next con- gress is expected to be the most impor­ tant document of the kind since the civil war. After the president’s West­ ern trip there can no longer be any doubt as to his intentions regarding the Philippines, for it has been amply demonstarted that he will recommend that the islands become the permanent property of the United States,' leaving their treatment to congress, but asking that a policy be early outlined, in or­ der to quench the Filipino hope that there will be a change in public senti­ ment in the United Staes which will result in the domination of the anti-ex­ pansion element. Fears for the Senator. Victoria, Oct. 21.—The steamer Em­ press of India, which has reached here from Japan, has completed the rough­ est trip of her 43 voyages. The second day out from Yokohama she encoun­ tered a typhoon which smashed all telegraph communication between the engine room and the bridge and de­ stroyed some of the lioats. The storm continued unabated one day and night. Fears are expressed by the officer« for the transport sterner Senator, carry­ ing home the Fifty-first Iowa regiment. She left Yokohama for San Francisco eight hours before the Empress, and, having large upper works, would fare badly in a storm. Boilermakers* Strike. San Francisco, Oct. 21.—The lioiler- makers’ strike is over, and the men will go back to work tomorrow. The men have conceded the nine hours a day on all vessels not owned by the government. On these latter the day’« work will be eight hours for 10 hours’ pay. In order to make up for the ex­ tra hour on outside ships, a slight ad­ vance has been made of the men’s pay. As a result of the artisans going back to work, nearly all the transports now in port will get away next week. i The Olympia Olypmian «ay« that Secretary of State Jenkins, who was asked to pardon Eno Bly, now under 20 years’ sentence for murder, would have granted the pardon had he been con­ vinced that Lieutenant-Governor Dan­ iels was out of the state.

About 25 settlers are affected by the action of the Northern Pacific Railway Company in placing lieu land «crip on the even-numbered sections in town­ ship 14, 5 west, in Washington. Some of these settlers have been holding down their claims for eight years, waiting for the government to survey the land and open ii for settlement. It is probably they will unite and fight the company. The sensational suit brought by Ro­ bert and Maria Chatham in the San Mateo county superior court, at Red­ wood City, Cal., to secure acknowledg­ ment of the claim to lie considered children of the late capitalist, Robert Mills, ended with a verdict in theii favor. They are now entitled to share in the division of his $300,000 estate.

Rate« Are Moving Up and Have Bearing* on Export Trade. Bradstreet’s says: More nearly, per­ haps, than ever before, does the volume of general trade and industry tax exist­ ing transportation facilities handling the same. From nearly all parts of the country, but particularly from the West and South, come reports of car scarcity. Some of this congestion seem« to be the result of a diversion of traffic ordinarily carried on by water routes to already crowded railroads. The inability of present transportation facilities to copie with the existing situ­ ation is, however, not confined to do­ mestic trade lines. From both coasts of this country come reports of insuf­ ficient tonnage offering to handle goods seeking a foreign outlet, and freight rates are considerably higher than they were a year or more ago. This latter feature, in fact, is one which maj' have important effects uj>on our foreign trade during the balance of the year. With few notable exceptions prices continue strong. A number of lines have advanced quotations, while the great body of staple articles manifest all their old firmness.
